Dental hygienists are specially trained to work as part of the dental team, to give care to patients.
They play an important part in dental health care and are mainly concerned with preventive dental health and treating gum disease - showing you correct home care and helping to keep your teeth and gums healthy.
The hygienist's main work is to prevent and treat gum disease.
This includes professionally cleaning your teeth by removing plaque and calculus (usually called a 'scale and polish' or a prophylaxis).

Just as there are several causes of tooth staining and discoloration there are some easy options to try for whiter teeth.
Whitening toothpastes which contain mild abrasives which scrub the teeth removing surface stains to make them whiter.
Some toothpaste also contains peroxide or phosphates to help remove and prevent stain.
These toothpaste will only remove extrinsic staining and won't change the colour of your tooth enamel.
Rinse with a whitening mouthwash which provides gentle foaming action to safely protect against future stains and can get to hard-to-reach places.

A dental implant is a small precision engineered screw which serves as a replacement for the root portion of a missing natural tooth.
The implant is placed in the bone of the upper or lower jaw and a specially modified surface allows a bond (osseointegration) to form with the bone.
This gives the same stable foundation as a natural tooth.
After the implant is placed, usually some time elapses during healing.
New teeth can now be connected to them, and the gum shaped to encourage the best desired cosmetic outcome.
